Small Animal Clinical Sciences

RESIDENCY IN SMALL ANIMAL MEDICINE

This residency is a three (3) year program approved by the American
College of Veterinary Internal Medicine (ACVIM). The objectives of the
program are to train specialists in veterinary internal medicine and to
prepare them for board certification in the ACVIM. Clinical training,
clinical and didactic teaching, and research are emphasized to prepare
the resident for a career in either academic or specialty practice
careers. The residents work closely with ACVIM diplomates in internal
medicine, oncology, cardiology and neurology. There is an ample supply
of excellent referral cases in internal medicine to challenge the
resident and to promote learning. There are also rotations in
ophthalmology, dermatology and radiology. Residents are expected to do
presentations at residency seminars and grand rounds. Opportunities are
provided to participate in classroom teaching and speaking at continuing
education meetings. The resident must complete a research project that
results in publication.
